There does not appear to be any setting anywhere for XAuthLocation in sshd_config or ssh_config. It should be in the users $HOME, no? Ok, I wasn't su-ing to root, however, when I tried the '-X' option, I did get this: "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Last login: Thu May 22 16:15:45 2003 from neon /usr/openwin/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /home/grant/.Xauthority" Strangely, there was a .Xauthority file there already, but it apparently was missing something. It would allow me to forward over telnet. It seems to be working using the '-X' option, so I'll have to figure out why it isn't recognizing the config file. I can't really check until I get to work tomorrow, as I attempted to install a Nortel VPN on my home machine Friday and it crapped out half way through the install and screwed-up everything. It has taken me all weekend to get it back to something usable. Unfortunately, eXceed is still unusable and will need to be reinstalled. THANKS EVERYONE! Grant M.
